“When listening to Out of Sight!, you can’t help but be impressed with how Sanchez manages to seamlessly mesh R&B and Latin jazz. With this release the conguero can add another to his list of fine albums. But then again, Sanchez doesn’t put out bad records. Some are just better than others.” – Ollie Bivens/AllAboutJazz.

” If your four-year-old granddaughter dances spontaneously to the opener of a recording, something is right about it. “One Mint Julep” on Poncho Sanchez’s Out of Sight! was responsible for such happiness.” – Javier Quinones/JazzTimes.
